    I am a 8yr homeschool CC mom. I have directed 6 years. I have loved being reminded of where we were and where we are going in CC. The series on what’s next is perfect . I would have loved these as I was moving up. Keep doing it! I can not wait until you get to Challenge IV.

  • EE: Analogies for All of Us was so helpful. This is a new resource since the last time our family had a student in Ch A and this helped me understand what we were doing, what we are learning and how to plan our time. Thank you so much! A very valuable discussion!!! I'll be recommending this to other families for this year!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anti-Burnout Memory Master Tips
Q: When did you start proofing, and how do you manage the process with different learners?
Proofing can start around week 20-21, sometimes during Christmas break, with a first and second parent proof. For some learners, especially those who struggle with on-the-spot recall, involve other adults, adjust methods (e.g., no hand motions for one child but use hand motions for another), and spread the workload across weeks to avoid burnout.
Anti-Burnout Memory Master Tips
Q: What are practical preparation tips you would offer to parents?
Begin with a six-week build-up where memory work is reviewed daily in small, manageable chunks, followed by a cumulative weekly review. Use a mix of methods (songs, hand motions, physical activities, flip books) tailored to each child's learning style, and engage fellow parents in shared proofing or learning sessions to reduce pressure.
The Habits Every Homeschool Family Needs with Leigh Bortins
Q: How should parents cultivate intellectual and spiritual formation in the home?
Leigh emphasizes mentorship, community, and modeling—parents should engage with their children, seek guidance from mentors, and integrate daily practices like reading, storytelling, and family devotionals.
The Habits Every Homeschool Family Needs with Leigh Bortins
Q: What do you mean by the art of grammar beyond memorization?
She describes a set of five habits—naming, attending, memorizing, expressing, and storytelling—that form a practical grammar for learning and living, applicable to any age.
The Habits Every Homeschool Family Needs with Leigh Bortins
Q: What first made you realize that the habits of learning are as important as the information memorized?
Leigh explains that consistency in routine and the ability to predict what comes next was crucial for managing a large family and multiple ages, which led her to see habits as the backbone of effective learning.
